Squad

A move Ibrahim Adel would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ibrahim Adel is living that version at WAFA, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Kwame Mensah hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what WAFA can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at WAFA

Amos Waris was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

Graduation day at WAFA

1 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Ibrahim Adel signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ibrahim Adel and WAFA agree another 3 years.

Match

A bad afternoon for WAFA against Ashanti Gold

1‑2 to Ashanti Gold, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Kwadwo Atiemo steps up from the WAFA academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kwadwo Atiemo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Words at WAFA training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ibrahim Adel is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

No time for Ashanti Gold to settle

The goal that put Ashanti Gold ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when WAFA equalised, 3 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

In brief

  • Boardroom No investment in the facilities at WAFA
  • Player ratings Joseph Acquah runs at them all day
  • Player ratings The pass was always on for David Kudus

Squad

A fracture rules Patrick Bukari out for 29 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason WAFA will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

WAFA turn down Unisport Bafang for Patrick Paintsil

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at WAFA

Gladson Essien was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Thomas Sulemana

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Abeiku Asante falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

WAFA buy the years ahead of Felix Afful

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

In brief
